Connect R functions with what they measure
A function name is more useful when you know what it does. Questions in chapters 5, 8, 10, 12 and 14 ask you to recognize R operators, functions and their purposes. You can practice those choices and read the brief explanation before returning to your own R work.
The format is multiple choice throughout. Use it alongside the practical work your instructor assigns; it does not replace writing and running your own code.
Sample questions
These 10 sample questions cover topics in Chapter 2, Mathematical Foundations. Choose an answer, then use each card to see its answer and explanation.
1. Two analysts draw the same collaboration network using different layouts. Although the positions of the people change, the people represented and their connections remain identical. What determines the underlying graph?
Answer: C
Explanation: A graph is a mathematical structure defined by vertices and edges. Changing its visual layout does not change the graph if the vertices and their connections remain the same.
2. Employees are asked to identify the colleagues they approach for professional advice. An employee may seek advice from someone who does not seek advice from them. Why are directed edges appropriate for representing these responses?
Answer: A
Explanation: Directed edges preserve the orientation of a relationship. A tie from one employee to another records a specific advice-seeking relationship without assuming that the reverse relationship also exists.
3. A research team collects three types of information about the same group of volunteers: who exchanges advice, who socializes together, and who shares equipment. What makes this a multirelational dataset?
Answer: A
Explanation: Multirelational data capture more than one type of relationship within a shared set of vertices. Advice, social interaction, and equipment sharing constitute separate relations.

4. An undirected network contains the edges P–Q, Q–R, R–S, and R–P. Which sequence forms a path without revisiting a vertex?
Answer: B
Explanation: P–Q–R–S follows existing edges and visits each vertex only once. Every other sequence repeats at least one vertex.
5. A route through a network visits one vertex twice, uses no edge more than once, and finishes at a different vertex from where it began. Which term most precisely describes this route?
Answer: B
Explanation: A trail permits repeated vertices but does not permit repeated edges. The repeated vertex prevents this route from being a path, and its different starting and ending vertices prevent it from being a cycle.
6. An analyst temporarily removes the arrowheads from a directed network while retaining every connection. The analyst then identifies the connected components of the resulting undirected graph. What do these groups represent in the original network?
Answer: C
Explanation: Weakly connected components are identified by assessing connectivity without considering edge direction. Strongly connected components require directed reachability in both directions between every pair of vertices in the component.
7. A researcher examines how closely each pair of colleagues is connected, considering both their direct relationship and their connections through other people. Which concept best captures this focus?
Answer: D
Explanation: Dyadic cohesion concerns the closeness or connectedness of a pair of actors. It may be assessed through features such as direct ties, tie strength, or the network paths linking the pair.
8. A binary adjacency matrix uses rows to identify the source of a directed tie and columns to identify its recipient. The entry in Lina’s row and Omar’s column is 1. What does this entry establish?
Answer: B
Explanation: Under the row-to-column convention, the entry records a tie from Lina to Omar. The reverse tie must be checked separately in Omar’s row and Lina’s column.
9. A researcher states that the relation represented by a graph is reflexive. Which feature must the graph contain?
Answer: A
Explanation: A reflexive relation links every element to itself. Its graph therefore contains a self-loop at each vertex; merely permitting self-loops does not establish reflexivity.
10. A square matrix records communication among 12 employees. The rows and columns list the same employees. How should this matrix be classified in terms of its ways and modes?
Answer: D
Explanation: The matrix has two ways because it has two indexing dimensions: rows and columns. It has one mode because both dimensions refer to the same set of employees.
